Great Horde
The Great Horde was the rump state of the Golden Horde, centred on Sarai on the lower Volga from the mid-15th century to 1502. The khanates of Astrakhan and Crimea broke away from it. Russian tradition dates the end of the "Tatar yoke" to the Great Stand on the Ugra River in 1480, and the Crimean Khanate destroyed it in 1502.
